US Steel. Tugboat. Typhoon. Shockmaster. The man has been known by many names, and all of them have made an impact one way or the other. The man behind the names, Fred Ottman, is the latest guest in RF VIDEO's shoot interview series. A down to Earth, humble guy, Ottman talks about his entire career; from his buzz-worthy stint in Florida, to his top-of-the-card run in WWE, all the way to his epically disastrous appearance in WCW. No stone was left unturned as we asked every question possible to a man who has been in some of the biggest locker rooms in wrestling history.

Ottman started his career between Memphis and Texas, and we got him to discuss what it was like working for two of wrestling's biggest all time stars in Jerry Lawler and Bruiser Brody. What were both men like outside the ring? What were the politics going on behind the scenes? What was it like working with guys like Gary Hart and Bill Dundee? Working with Dusty Rhodes in Florida, we got the scoop on how Ottman got the name US Steel along with what he thought about all the guys in the territory such as Oliver Humperdink. Ottman explains in detail the offers he received from WCW and WWF and explained why he went to New York.

Working for Vince McMahon opened up a whole can of worms and Ottman told us what it was like to work with Hogan right off the bat. We got a ton of backstage WWF stories as all the big names were still there including Andre the Giant, Iron Sheik, Honky Tonk Man, Ted DiBiase, the Road Warriors and Randy Savage. What really happened the night Nailz attacked McMahon? You'll hear that story along with insane tales of what Lex Luger and Ultimate Warrior would do behind the scenes.

No Ottman shoot would be complete without talking about one of wrestling's most unforgettable debutsSHOCKMASTER. Ottman speaks of that infamous Clash of the Champions moment and is hilarious as he recalls the event. This is truly a must see moment on the DVD. We also covered all his major matches and feuds in WCW including Steven Regal, Ricky Steamboat, Sid Vicious, and appearing in War Games. Tugboat fans and basically anyone who grew up during the 90s will enjoy this interview as Ottman was in the two biggest wrestling companies during a fantastic time. You'll get Von Erich stories, where the name Tugboat came from, and stories of working with all those fantastic WWF tag teams of the era.
